The mat is a little bit soft for my taste. It's supposed to be designed for carpet but the wheels leave indentations in the mat which makes it a little bit hard to slide around. I would get something stiffer next time.
If I could find the receipt I would return this. Very thin and after a couple weeks of use the wheels on my office chair are already getting stuck in the grooves.
I really like this mat to protect my hardwood floor in my sewing area. The 45 x 53 is a great size when you have to move around a lot. I liked it so much I purchased a second one! The clear mat does not detract from the beauty of hardwood floors and I'm extremely happy with them.
